American showjumping coach George Morris’ appeal against a lifetime ban from the sport has been unsuccessful.
Back in August, he was banned by the US Centre for SafeSport following an investigation into claims of sexual misconduct involving a minor. He disputed the initial findings and appealed the lifetime ban.
All has been quiet awaiting the appeal; on the 7 and 8 November an Independent Arbitration was held and Mr Morris’ status on the SafeSport website has since been amended from “pending appeal” to “permanently ineligible”.
SafeSport have not commented directly on the case itself.
